MIL is early 70s, still quite active but no hobbies or interests. Doesn’t like pampering stuff / facials as reacts to stuff. Any suggestions for a birthday present please?

Theatre tickets/vouchers?

Take her out for the day - somewhere/something she's interested in, with a nice lunch. Does she have some favourite foods? A hamper with some goodies in.

Get your DH to sort it - she's his mum therefore his responsibility?

Got chatting to a couple at the arboretum yesterday.
They said they love it when their daughters buy theatre tix
What I like also

Then they bought them. A ceramic bowl...and they’d rather have tix

Well the DP has returned from Homesense with a basket of random bits (hand lotion, body creams, candles - all scented) and it cost £45!!!! So 45 quid spent on crap she won’t use (too scented). That’s why I try to think of options but he jumped in and got that pile of nonsense.
Theatre tickets are a good idea - thank you. I will be suggesting them next time!!
